விடையைக் காட்டு
விடை: C — Correct: All three — Form 6 is for new inclusion, Form 7 for objection or deletion, and Form 8 for correction or shifting, so all three match. • Only one — wrong: More than one pair is correct, so 'Only one' undercounts the matched pairs. • Only two — wrong: The third pair is also correct, so 'Only two' leaves out a valid match. • None — wrong: Each of the three pairs reflects the actual purpose of the form, so 'None' cannot be right.
